The New License Law Solid.

Messrs. Sanders. Cullen q Sanders
have at the request OF Dell Dick and
Con Kelly, retail liquor dealers at
Helena, given 9 lengthy opinion on
the point raised by the saloon keepers,
whether licenses under the old law
could be paid 10 advance for the entire
year or longer, aud thus defeat the
provisions Of the act passed by the
legislature of last winter, which i'm
poses o higher license than the old
law, and makes 1t operative on and
after July I, prox. The legal gentle
men. after reviewing the situation In
oil its bearings both constitutional and
legal, are Of the opinion that no reve-
nue. officer Is empowered to receive
payment for licenses to cover o period
that will project the rights Of the
license beyond the pending quarter a.
against subsequent legislation. The
opinion Is lengthy and comprehensive
and the gist Of 1t lie that on and after
July LIST all retail liquor business will
be governed by the new license law.
In Lewis and Clarke county, where
q number Of saloon men have paid for
the entire year at the old rates, the
commissioners offer to apply the
amount paid for the period beyond
June 80 as a credit on the amount due
under the new Law, which Messrs.

THE billiard FORTUNE.
A Rich Windfall That Seems to be Hard
to Find.

AsheUfis IN. CO. Special to Charleston Neics
and Courier
Quite an agreeable sensation was produced
here some weeks ago 10y the announcement
in the local papers that the two children of
our fellow townsman, George w. billiard,
has been left each a legacy amounting in
the aggregate to over 81 100000. Mr.. Dill
lard decided to remove his children from
Laurens, or Pickens. S. c., their present
residence, to this city.
As soon as this was determined upon two
wealthy and prominent gentlemen of this
city, after consultation with Mr. billiard,
filed applications for letters of guardianship.
Some incredulity existed in the minds of
many in regard to the legacies But the
attorney for one of the applicants stated
that he had given the matter an investiga-
ton and that there was no doubt about
81, SOC, 900 being left to the two children by
a rich uncle in California. Placervile was
the town at which he was alleged to have
lived and where he was reported to have
died, and his name was James McCurry
The Daily Citizen is i'll receipt of a letter
from an attorney by the name of W. A.
Curtis, of Rabun county, Georgia, where
McCurry's relatives now live, stating that
at the instance of these relatives he invest-
gated the matter, writing to the Clerk of
the Court at Placerville, Ell Dorado county,
California. He enclosed to the editors of
the Citizen a copy of the letter received i'll
reply. The purport of this letter is that the
will of no such man has been presented for
probate; that the Clerk has not heard of
such person dying in his county, and that
so far as he knows no party of that name
lives there. The letter itself is not sent to
the Citizen, but only a copy, as stated. So
that the whole matter, it seems, is yet in
volved in doubt.
A special dispatch in regard to this Nc
Curry estate and the billiards has gone out
from Atlanta, purporting to give an &C
curate and full account of the billiard
windfall, and stating, among other things,
that George w. billiard is an old planter in
Rabun county, and that two of his sons re-
Gently passed through that city ell route to
Placerville. Mr.. billiard is not old, not a
farmer, and does not live IN Rabun county.
He has but one son, who is only IA years of
age. The whole special, frequently repub-
lished in different Southern papers in the
last week or so, reads like romance, and
is almost totally wanting in truth in any of
its statements.

CUNNING FOR PICTURES.
An Invention With Widespreading
Promises to Amateur Photographers.

An Invention With Widespreading
Promises to Amateur Photographers.
From the Ner York Times
Amateur photography has made another
long stride forward. A new invention was
displayed at the meeting of the New York
Society at 122 West Thirty-sixth street last
evening, whose widespread results can
scarcely be conjectured. By means of it,
photographs will henceforth be taken as
easily and accurately at night as i'll the
daytime, and the photographer will, i'll the
blacklist darkness, be able To literally take
an unerring shot at his subject with pho
Geographic gun.
Hitherto the only means of photograph
ing at night have been by means of the
kerosene, calcium, or electric lights. All of
these demanded more or less paraphernalia
and were not portable to any available de-
gree. Magnesium wine, when burned, was
known to produce a light of strong actinic
quality, and lamp had been devised with
which to burn it for Photographic purposes
1t was not satisfactory light, however, as
it was unsteady and liable to go out.
From magnesium, however, Dr. II. G. Pif-
fard, a physician residing at 10 West
Thirty fifth street, has devised exactly the
thing desired, and ne last evening explained
his invention.
ItconsistS in powdered magnesium spread
upon guncotton. The ignition of the gun
cotton furnishes the heat necessary to set
fire to the magnesium, and the result is q
brilliant flash, powerful enough to expose
the plate, and easily available under any
circumstances. The photograph is instan-
taneous. The doctor first discussed Ger
man powder invented for the purpose,
stating that while its light effects were ex-
cellent its very explosive quality made it a
dangerous article either to handle or have
about. He next discussed and exhibited a
mixture of four parts of gunpowder and
one part of magnesium, which, when
flashed, answered the purpose desired. 1t
was neither as convenient nor effective,
however, as the guncotton combination.
After burning samples of these and show
ing their effects, he fired car
fridge of magnesium and gunpowder from
an ordinary revolver. showing that the
flash was quite sufficient for an instantan-
eous photograph. He then proceeded to
darken the room and to photograph Mr..
Robert Roosevelt. The camera was adj
justed, and as the cap was removed the
doctor touched match to II small piece of
powdered cotton. The light flashed in the
darkness, and when sorle minutes later the
developed plate appeared an excellent
negative of Mr.. Roosevelt was the result
Several portraits, taken the night before,
were exhibited and the practical value of
the invention was indisputably established.
The result viii be that the amateur pho

that 800 years hence all this land should
cease TO be pasturage and become the site of

FINDING A STORE OF SILVER.
The Curious Discovery Made by Two
Women in New Mexico.

Women in New Mexico.
From the Las Vegas (N NJ Optic.
An Optic reporter this afternoon called on
Mrs George H. Miles, the lady who, i'll
company with Mrs. A. r. Rumble, found
the buried money at Santa Fe on last
Wednesday. These two ladies had been to
visit old Fort Marcy, and were returning
by shorter and more precipitous route
than the one usually followed by pedestri
ans When about half way between the
plain and the fort at the base of a large
stone lying beside the path, Mrs. Miles de-
serted a quarter, or what seemed such,
lying upon the ground. Mrs Rumble picked
it up, and both ladies instantly another.
Putting down Mrs. Rumble's babe, whom
Mrs. Miles was carrying, the ladies began to
rake the ground with a stone, and the more
they raked the more other coin came to
light. From about O'Clock till they labored,
and in that time they recovered 500 pounds
of coin of various denominations and ages.
The oldest was of the date of 1924, before
America was discovered, and evidently
brought to this country by the earliest
Spanish immigrants This piece was bought
by J.Gold, of Santa Fe, for $50, not moiety
OF its value. Two pieces coined under the
administration of Gov. Vargas were pre-
scented to the New Mexico Historical
Society. The remainder of the 800 pounds
was equally divided between Mrs. Miles and
Mrs. Rumble. The most of the coins were
of the eighteenth century, though the latest
was as modern as 1926. The probability is
that the money was buried at the time
when Santa Fe was captured by the Ameri-
cans Simply as bullion silver, the find will
amount to nearly $4,000; but in view of
the age of much of the coin, the real value
will be greater. Half of it goes to Denver,
and the other half comes to Las Vegas

hitherto been unknown. The invention is
valuable commercially, one photographer
stating that he had concluded to make use
of it Ill his gallery as soon as the winter sun
light began to weaken early in the after
noon. 1t will also greatly widen the field of
amusement and experiment which have
attracted so many thousands to amateur
photography.
